Base model blue tooth telephone interface without on-board voice control disables phone hands free function (e.g "siri" on iphone) inviting distraction to use phone functions. Common also on similarly equipped BMW models. This was not the case with earlier year models with similar equipment.

We purchased this all-new model in March 2016 and have been unable to ascertain a crashworthiness rating through your administration or the iihs. I once assumed that these tests were conducted prior to the public sale of automobiles. How long must a consumer wait for a test to be conducted? the insurance companies seem to depend heavily on these evaluations when determining their rates.

Twice since buying my car in may if 2016 I have badly burned my leg on the tailpipe while getting bags out of the trunk. I was not even reaching into the trunk particularly deeply. The tailpipe protrudes beyond the bumper and it is very easy to inadvertently bump it with one's leg if wearing shorts. This is dangerous to adults, but also especially dangerous for children helping their parents get things out of the car. I have photos of the burns if you need them.
